A Rose for Emily

What do you think is a good alternative title for "A Rose for Emily"? [question originally posted in the Q&A section by sickadema]

How about "The Man in the Bed"?

or: "The Kindness of Strangers" 

I like "A Feather in the South's Cap"

How about "The Gulity"?  This title, like its original could have multiple meanings.  The townsfolk?  Homer?  Emily's father?  Emily?

In reply to #1:

A good alternative title? How about any of the following:

 "The Hair on the Pillow"

"The Longest Embrace"

How about: 

"The Spinster's Revenge"?

"Strange Bedfellows" ?

In reply to #1:  Beauty's Innocence

I cannot think of a better title given the shades of meaning for the word rose.  The rose is most often thought of as a symbol for love in which case Homer is the "rose" or love for Emily.  However, there is another meaning of rose to consider.  In Medieval times the rose was used as a sign of silence or secrecy.  A rose was hung from the ceiling at a meeting of secret societies indicating a demand for discretion.  The rose in the title of the story could therefore stand for Emily's secret; that is Homer her "rose" whom she cherished, loved and kept to herself even after his body was corrupted by the decay of time.

I also cannot think of a better title because I've always felt it was the author's and narrator's way of paying tribute to Miss Emily, a tragic character who is a product of her unfortunate upbringing.  I have always felt sorry for Miss Emily because of how her father treated her.  All she wanted was human companionship and she was denied it for so long.
